Yes and even coupled with heat shrink. I was saying to be cautious if the wear disc is absent or badly worn.....you need to check out the entire recoil assembly for issues. Not that it was some major problem with this saw, it's not.
I don't recall you scanning another copy for me before.
Would you happen to have the model numbers for that cannon 32" bar?
If you pull the muffler and see scoring....I wouldn't even run it and risk damaging it further.
I'm going to ask an honest, but probably dumb question. If the piston and cylinder are already scored and beyond saving, what other harm can arise from running a already-junk P+C?
Well it may not be a total loose YET but if you take a chance and run the saw it may get past the point of being able to save at least the cylinder.
Good points, Ernie, things that became apparent to me once I started to think more about it, and after I already posted. Hence the "dumb question" warning. I was going to take a look at the cylinder to see if it's salvageable first, maybe keep it for a spare. But I probably won't be taking it off until I have a replacement P+C in hand. I'll keep you in mind.
Well hopefully it's not to bad that it can't be cleaned up and just a new set of rings will get you going again .
Because of the scarcity of parts.....the chance of reviving the cylinder is there. And you'd have a spare even if you went with Robin's offer.
If your on FB. Get hold of Gary Barker. He does most of the jred decals for us in jred and chainsaw repair groups.
The 2 I was talking about he is in.okay went on facebook ummmm there's alot of them any idea which one
I've been curious about this for some time, no better time than to ask now.
Generally, depending on which advertising lit you're looking at, the 's' was dropped during and/or right after the run of the 910e. So '80-'81. Nothing concrete there and no lines drawn in the sand. Since the 910e was the last of the old company's designs, I prefer to call it a Jonsereds. As far as a reason, you should ask Magnus the Swede on his site. Magnus has all these Swede people in the biz he can ask.....but.....they find it peculiar that we want to know info on old companies/saws. I think they're not real nostalgic people for the most part and generally look forward.
I believe the dropping of the "s" occured sometime in late 83. I have an 83 490 that is a Jonsereds and a 84 490 that is a Jonsered. As Kevin said the 910 was the first of the 9XX series and are true Jonsereds and I think some of the 920s were labeled Jonsereds but not all and I think all the 930s were just Jonsered. That is how I understand it anyway.....and I could be wrong!!!
